“My family and I have been enjoying a little staycation this week at a farmhouse Airbnb just outside Cologne. It’s been a nice reminder that you don’t have to travel far to have a great summer. My daughter has spent the week chasing chickens around the property and loving every minute of it.

Even on vacation I’m still working every day. As a Realtor, I’ve done business throughout Mayer over the years, and a few years back I almost bought the property across the street from Knuckleheads with plans to turn it into a small Airbnb. It wasn’t meant to be, but I’ve found myself driving through town regularly ever since.

After passing Knuckleheads countless times—especially on Tuesday nights with the Harleys lined up outside—I finally stopped in with my family.

We arrived toward the tail end of the live music. The patio was still full when we got there, but by the time we left around 9:00, the crowd had started to thin out—which is when I snapped the photo of my daughter enjoying the last few songs.

The musician was a phenomenal guitarist and singer, and the atmosphere made it easy to settle in for the evening.

We ordered burgers, cheese curds, and waffle fries. The waffle fries were outstanding, and what really made the visit was the staff. Vicky and Jenny were personable, attentive, and did a great job taking care of everyone on a busy night.

It’s easy to see why this place has become a local favorite. Between the patio, the music, and the people, we’ll definitely be back the next time we’re in Mayer.

“I got routed here due to road construction and was cursing my path at every turn, but when I walked in the door I was greeted with a sumptuous array of pottery and a gobstopping number of their signature mochas. then I came upstairs and found not one, not two, not three- but four separate seating areas all lit by natural light and beautiful colors!
WORTH THE DRIVE, PEOPLE!”

“I figured it would take 10 more years of social progress before we saw a restaurant with the culinary artistry and European panache of Bode Gray’s in Waconia. Nestled in a town known for its conservative charm but largely uninspired franchise-laden gastronomic landscape, Bode Gray’s stands as a beacon of epicurean brilliance. Upon entering this culinary sanctum, one is immediately enveloped in an ambiance that whispers sophistication. The decor, a harmonious blend of modern minimalism and classic European elegance, sets the stage for an unforgettable dining experience. The menu is nothing short of a magnum opus. Each dish is a testament to the chef’s virtuosity, a symphony of flavors that dance upon the palate with an almost transcendental finesse. From the Roasted Duck that tantalizes the taste buds with a promise of the delights to come, to the pièce de résistance that leaves one in a state of gastronomic rapture, every bite is an odyssey of taste. The culinary offerings are an eclectic mix of traditional European techniques and avant-garde innovation, resulting in a tapestry of flavors that is as complex as it is sublime. The Tortellini alla Casper, for instance, is a masterclass in rustic refinement, its velvety sauce and tender meat a homage to the culinary traditions of Burgundy. The Roasted Squash Risotto, a creamy dream infused with the earthy essence of pepitas could easily hold its own against the finest trattorias of Milan. What truly sets Bode Gray’s apart, however, is its astonishing affordability. In a metropolitan setting, one would expect to pay a princely sum for such gastronomic grandeur, yet here, in the heart of Waconia, one can indulge in a feast fit for royalty at a fraction of the cost. It is, quite simply, a revelation. The only place serving better cocktails than the restaurant itself are made manifest by the enlightened mixologists through the rear entrance of The Brass Hat, an attached Speakeasy that transcends you into the era of prohibition characterized by the same heroic opposition that envisioned Bode Gray’s arrival in a town never before acquainted with the culinary divine. Here, the cocktails are not mere drinks but exquisite libations meticulously concocted with an almost alchemical precision, each sip a journey through the esoteric and the divine. In summation, Bode Gray’s is not merely a restaurant; it is a culinary pilgrimage, a testament to what is possible when culinary passion meets artistic ingenuity. To dine here is to experience the zenith of gastronomic delight, and for this, we owe a debt of gratitude to the culinary visionaries behind this extraordinary establishment.”

“We’ve been to Iron Tap a few times and it never disappoints! Today we went to celebrate my son’s heavenly 3rd birthday. Initially we were okay and my daughter seemed fine but within a few minutes she decided she didn’t want to be there… the owner (or really awesome and amazing bartender) came to our rescue and offered us dinosaurs and another area to sit so my 1.5 year old could move and not bug anyone. She didn’t know us or our situation, just saw an overstimulated mother. I wish there was more I could do, because you made our celebration so special. Thank you!”

“Best burgers and fun atmosphere! Lots of pull tab options and booty chaser!”

“Love coming here for public and member only events. Their wine is very good - especially for Minnesota. Their sauv blanc shook me!

Loved it so much became a member!”

“I am a frequent flyer at the Cabin in Jordan and I have had the NICEST people help me at this location. After I picked up my drink this morning, I knew I had to post a stellar review for the caribou in jordan as I said to myself “I’ve literally never been anywhere where the customer service is as good as it is here”. The people are SO friendly, quick, and precise. I’m SO HAPPY you guys came to jordan. Thank you for being amazing!!!”

“I wanted to bring cookies to my son’s nurses and Bakery on Main made it so easy and delicious! Shelby was so friendly and helpful. When I went to pickup with my baby Shelby even helped bring our cookies to the car. 10/10 experience!”

“I love having this addition to the neighborhood! It is so easy to place my order on the app and just drive up and pick up my order. While I'm there I often stop and get a couple of groceries as well. Clean, friendly, not overly crowded, and lots of seating in the upper level.

Parking: I have been there several times in the morning and have never had a problem finding plenty of parking.”

“Love Papa Murphy’s it’s our go to once a month.
Would love to see the gluten free pizza on sale with all the other pizzas or just a flat $3 off of a gluten free pizza.
It is a lot more money and only a size medium.
I have Celiac Disease so I can only order the gluten free items.”
